Matter! 16th Annual New Generations Student ShowcaseFriday Nights at the de Young | April 20, 2012

This juried showcase of multidisciplinary work presented creations by
students attending classes, colleges, universities, and alternative
education facilities around the San Francisco Bay Area.

Think of it as a one-word manifest: Matter!

Matter! Is the stuff of our lives, the goods that surround us, the
fibers we wear, and the atoms of which our bodies are formed. Artists
and designers have, in recent years, called for a return to Matter!:
new investigations of material culture, a re-invigoration of
distinctly handmade objects, and insistent materiality. In an age
characterized by post-studio art, others might argue that what matters
most today is something immaterial, something social—an artistic form
of anti-matter.
